What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Ah...my oldest grand-daughter is that age. I always recommend Totoro, Ponyo and Kiki (Ghibli films) for girls that age. Very positive, subtle underlying messages.

Me too. She is well versed in every Ghibli film, being half Japanese and living in the UK also helps bring an educational element to them. We have done every single one to death though, and I was watching many of them long before she was even born.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I am currently half watching 'Fanboys'.
25 minutes in and it is very close to being switched off.
I don't buy that these guys are even properly written as fans. It's like a really really low rent version of those american pie low rent copies.
If they say "you have been like that since X grade" again I am going to puke.

Jesus, they managed to cram all the cameos in. I guess they didn't know it was going to be so hopelessly shit. This could have been an interesting film, but they just made a half arsed by the book teen road movie.

Based on the Pilkington Glass strike- to be watched with The Big Flame (if you haven't already that is).

My "It's complicated on Facebook" controls both the telly and the DVD player, so I must defer to She Who Must Be Obeyed.

 

[Idris2002]

Also -

The Third Man. Nothing much to say on this one, except that if you haven't seen this one, go and see it at once. But be sure to leave death to the professionals.

The Shop Around the Corner. Various Hollywood luvvies, led by Jimmy Stewart, impersonate a motley crew of Budapest shop assistants.

Bill Cunningham's New York. I think that was the title. Surprisingly interesting documentary about this 80 year old bloke who does street photography for the New York Times fashion pages.

Performance. Sharp-suited London gangsterJames Fox is on the run from his Kray-brothers type 'friends'. A chance encounter gives him the chance to hide out in Mick Jagger's stoner pad. The Jagged one proceeds to mess with his head in true late 60s style. The gangland stuff holds up pretty well, while the late 60s drug culture scenes have perhaps not aged so well (I don't think I needed to see Anita Pallenberg stick a syringe in her right buttock, for example). It's worth it just for the scene where Fox tells Jagger 'you'll look funny when you're fifty'.

Breakinng Bad eps 3 & 4 season 1.

I'm already wishing everyone apart from Walter would just die.

Will this feeling pass?

Maybe it's time to start watching Glee instead ?

Yes. You'll come to love Jesse Pinkman. And hate him even more.

Walt changes big time.
keep watching, you may not like him.

 

[Reno]

By the end, if you have any sort of working moral compass, it is Walter you should want to see die the most.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Yeah....after I poke out my eyes and puncture my ear drums,

 

[TruXta]

Keep watching, Nanker, it only gets better.

A moral compass is a waste of time. I tried to use it to get home the other night and I ended up in a bordello.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Keep watching, Nanker, it only gets better.

I like it. I just hate all the characters.

 

[TruXta]

I like it. I just hate all the characters.

Apart from one or two they're all written so you want to hate them. Walt's son being one of the exceptions.

I want Vic Mackey from The Sheild to turn up and smash that DEA brother in law fucker in the face!

He's actually one of the characters I got more sympathy for as the show went on.

 

[mwgdrwg]

I'm only on Season 2 no more Breaking Bad spoilers please, fuck!

 

[Reno]

I honestly don't undertand what's there to hate. They aren't likeable or dislikeable, at the start at least they are fairly average if flawed human beings who try their best in a stressful situation. That's not really something thats sets my teeth on edge.

 

[TruXta]

I'm only on Season 2 no more Breaking Bad spoilers please, fuck!

I'm sorry, but I can't see much spoiling?

 

[mwgdrwg]

I watched the first episode of Season 6 of Californication. Should've ended at the perfect finale of Season 4 and it's jumped the shark...but was ok. Tim Minchin was pretty good in it.

 

[Reno]

There are no spoilers here, unless you expect this to be a show where everybody happily skips off into the sunset by the end. By season 2 it should be fairly clear where the trajectory of Walter's character arch is heading.

 

[mwgdrwg]

I'm sorry, but I can't see much spoiling?

That you'd want to see Walt die? Now I'm wondering why. OK i overreacted but keep it in the Breaking Bad spoilers thread, I avoid that like the plague

Yeah, maybe. Just got to the end of the episode "Breakage", and that was interesting.

Horses for courses, wouldn't see it as a spoiler myself. What is a spoiler and fucking does my head in is when people say there's a twist at the end.

Good for you. I like that we are all available in life with our different points of view.

or Omar from the Wire turn up and nick the stash

 

[Orang Utan]

I thought Breaking Bad jumped the shark in S3 when Marie turned into a materialistic zombie

Like I say I overreacted and am very sensitive to Breaking Bad spoilers
